These savory feta cheese pockets are a delightful twist on traditional Greek Kalitsounia, perfect for a quick and delicious snack or appetizer.
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
In a mixing bowl, combine the crumbled feta cheese, fresh parsley, and beaten egg until well mixed.
Ensure the filling is evenly mixed for consistent flavor in every bite.
Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut it into 4-inch squares.
Keep the pastry cold for easier handling and better puffing during baking.
Place a tablespoon of the filling in the center of each square. Fold the corners to the center and pinch to seal, forming a pocket.
Seal the edges tightly to prevent the filling from leaking during baking.
Arrange the pockets on the prepared baking sheet. Brush with a beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
The egg wash gives a golden finish, and sesame seeds add a nutty flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.
Keep an eye on the pockets during the last few minutes to avoid over-browning.
